"Down for a birthday party being hosted in the hotel and unfortunately I wasn’t there long enough to take advantage of the pool, but the room was very nice, extremely comfortable bed, great strong shower, tea and coffee facilities etc and the veggie cooked breakfast was delicious. "

"Staff were friendly! Rooms amazing. Overall just perfect! "

"Was only there for 9 hours, but staff were great, room was clean and comfortable, and the car charging worked. so what more can i ask "

"A fantastic base for big groups. We stayed in a 4 bedroom lodge which was perfect for our family get together. Loved that there was 2 living rooms- somewhere separate for kids is brilliant. The staff were so warm and kind. If you’re going off season, the bar has limited opening times but there are supermarkets in Dungarvan to stock up for a kitchen disco. "

"Clean and warm room. In city center. Parking available in front of hotel. Grocery and castle in walking distance. Personnel were very pleasant and helpful. Menu to order from for breakfast. Huge portions!"

"What an overall nice experience. Slept the best I have in years. "

"Gillian's apartment was the perfect base for us exploring Cork County, the beautiful Copper Coast and the magnificent Rock of Cashel. Parking is ample and safe, and the apartment was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with EVERYTHING we needed to make our stay comfortable. The kitchen has all you need to make meals (we made our breakfast everyday before hitting the road, and a.couple of dinners too). Thank you Gillian for hosting us. We would definitely return when visiting Cork County again."

"Sylvia is the absolute loveliest host. Breakfast is amazing and fresh, i only wish i had the chance to eat more of it "

"I would recommend this place to anyone who goes to Cork. Spacious and quiet. We went with our 15 and 9 years old boys and they didn’t get bored as they had their own beds and plenty of plugs to charge their devices. There’s a telly as well where you can login to your favourite streaming services. Internet is super fast, as you can imagine, that’s another reason why kids were not bored. LOL. The communal kitchen is spacious so if you run into another guest, you won’t have that “awkward moment” where you don’t know where to look at to avoid eye contact. Clean towels, bedding, toilet and kitchen. Minor criticism is that as we were leaving the place, we checked behind the couches just to make sure we were not forgetting anything, we found some rubbish that wasn’t ours and it was old meaning that, that rubbish it’s been there for quite some time so that needs a bit of attention by management and cleaning staff. Don’t worry, you won’t need to bring you “forensic’s equipment” to check the room out! Just something I thought to mention because however small, it is important. If you don’t say anything, it cannot be fixed. The staff was super helpful, one of the nights, I had the keys whilst my husband and kids wanted to go back to the place so they couldn’t get in. My husband contacted the emergency phone number they provided and within FIVE minutes, the manager turned up with a spare set of keys! Over all, super recommend."
